Netscape is an app for displaying HTML 3.2 (basically.) Mozilla supports
HTML 4, CSS 1 and large parts of 2, XML... but you've heard this list
before, right?

Are you seriously claiming that these two products have the same level of

I know at least one person whose thesis got eaten by Word who would

Check n.p.m.performance for the graphs you need. As all the load-time and
mem-usage charts are moving downwards at a steady pace, if Mozilla 1.0 is
released as far from now as you think, we will be using negative memory
and loading pages before they are requested :-)
